Ingredients
- 20 peppermint disks
- 1 bottle unflavored vodka (750ml)
Instructions
- Prepare Peppermints: Unwrap all 20 peppermint disks and divide them evenly, placing 10 disks into each of two mason jars.
- Add Vodka: Pour the entire bottle of unflavored vodka (750 ml) evenly between the two mason jars, soaking the peppermint disks.
- Seal and Shake: Tightly secure the lids on both jars, give them a slight shake, and turn the jars upside down to mix the contents thoroughly.
- Refrigerate: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them steep for 5 days, or until the peppermint disks are completely dissolved into the vodka.
- Mix Residue: After steeping, a white layer will form at the bottom of each jar. Turn the jars upside down for about one hour to help redistribute this layer, then shake the jars well before serving.
- Serve: Pour the peppermint-infused vodka shots into shot glasses and enjoy your festive Candy Cane Shots!
Notes
- Ensure the peppermint disks are fully dissolved for the best flavor infusion.
- Steeping time can be adjusted depending on your desired strength of peppermint flavor.
- This recipe uses unflavored vodka to let the peppermint shine through without additional flavor interference.
- Store the jars in the fridge to maintain freshness and optimal taste.
- Shake well before serving each time as sediment may settle at the bottom.
